James Gandolfini’s Final Film Will Feature a Rescue Pit Bull

tragically passed away unexpectedly yesterday from a massive heart attack at only 51 years young. While Gandolfini will be best known for playing the role of tough mobster Tony Soprano on HBO’s drama, “The Sopranos,” the actor had a huge heart for animals, especially pit bulls. His compassion for this misunderstood breed no doubt compelled him to star in the FOX Searchlight crime thriller, “Animal Rescue,” which is currently in post-production.
